2-26 GHz PHEMT Amplifier
LMA208C
Description
The Filtronic LMA208C is a medium power PHEMT amplifier that operates from 2 to 26GHz. This 5-stage travelling wave amplifier provides
10dB nominal gain and 1-dB gain compression power output of greater than 19dBm. The LMA208C is designed for use as wideband driver
amplifer in ECM (Electronic Counter-Measure) and commercial communication system applications. Ground is provided to the circuitry
through vias to the backside metallization.

Assembly Diagram
1.) Recommended lead bond technique is thermocompression wedge bonding with 0.001” (25µm) diameter wire. The bond
tool force shall be 35-38 gram. Bonding stage temperature shall be 230-240°C, heated tool (150-160°C) is recommended.
Ultrasonic bonding is not recommended.
2.) The recommended die attach is an eutectic 80/20 Gold/Tin solder, using a stage temperature of 285-290°C. Maximum
time at temperature is 1 minute. Use of forming gas (90% N
2
, 10% H
2
) for best results.
3.) Bond on bond or stitch bond acceptable.
4.) Conductor over conductor acceptable. Conductors must not short.
